I would say that I have a shoe and handbag addiction. It is just one of the things in life that makes me really happy – SHOPPING! I can’t afford the bags at eluxury.com, so I look for authentic bags on discount websites such as Ebay https://www.ebay.com and Shop Star Style https://www.shopstarstyle.com.  I got authentic bags at both places, but I heard of some bad experiences on Ebay.

Well, I must say as an avid collector of designer bags that is part of me; it is who I am. There is nothing wrong with wanting nice things. I feel very good about myself when I walk through a shiny Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chole etc store and shop and find my bag for the season. I work very hard and to be able to afford such bags of all different prices $300 to $4000 plus makes me work that much harder. I do NOT believe in fake bags and find the sweatshops a disgrace. I do not believe that having a designer “it” bags make you a better person but it does not make you a bad person either. I think everyone should do what makes them happy and for me its bags. I would rather be a bagalcoholic then any other type. Well I guess I am a shoealcoholic as well. I do not think that you be homeless or starve to buy a Berkin bag but hey life is suppose to be fun.

RE: Nancy Gonzalez handbags. They’re sold at Bergdorf Goodman’s on 58th street and 5th avenue. I’ve never even heard of Nancy Gonzalez, but did a quick Google search n’ WOW! She has some nice bags!

Four words. Louis Vuitton equals ug. Most judgmental people like me will probably think it’s fake anyway. Why spend the $$?

I will only purchase a Designer Handbag if I am in love with the style. I also look for deals on my favorite bags at places like https://www.ebay.com and https://www.shopcandycouture.com

I am one of those girls who has a modest salary and see Louis Vuitton as a must have. I think it’s pretty much like anything else. I am currently saving up to buy my authentic bag because while I am tempted to buy a fake one, I know that the satisfaction of having saved so much money for my authentic bag will have been worth more than a $1,000. It’s a trend and everyone has different tastes.

Great post!

I’m obsessed with Longchamp bags and I still don’t understand the designer bag obsession. I know girls with very modest finances who view Louis Vuitton bags as a ‘must have’ and nothing less is good enough for them. It’s nuts!

There are lots of lovely bags out there, and the main difference with a ‘name’ designer is the amount of advertising the company’s done - which you pay for when you buy one.

I think the whole “it” bag phenomena is an (expensive) example of the lemming effect. People dropping $$$ for bags that they want only because other people have them. Most “it” bags really aren’t that attractive, in my opinion (I have never liked logo bags, especially since they are everywhere now). I’d far rather buy a reasonably priced bag that I like that is unique (ie not the one everyone has/wants to have). When I see someone with an “It” bag, I think “nice bag…but where’s the individuality & back bone that goes with it?” Dunno…that’s just me :)
